What is DOCSIS?
DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications - methods for transporting data over a cable (CATV) plant utilizing QAM and/or QPSK RF modulation.

Additionally, a European consortium of cable operators certifies EuroDocsis code. Their current certification wave results and lists of qualified products can be found at the EuroCableLabs Web Site.

DOCSIS standards are published by CableLabs and can be found in the specifications area at their site.
